Arma 2 OA CD Key Not Changing

[Kiloz]

I bought Arma 2 OA a while back and got my CD Key stolen.

I bought a new key G2A
G2A Is an online retailer for games & CD Keys.

I followed their step by step guide on how to activate Steam CD Keys.


I tried this and it did not work and told me I already had the product installed, so I un-installed Arma 2 OA and then tried to re-install through that way. It worked and installed however I was still global banned by BattleEye (BE)

So then I tried to edit my CD Key manually through regedit (Registry Editor)
I followed various YouTube videos and forum threads and it still wouldn't work.

Today I tried installing Darky's Key Changer & just a regular Arma 2 OA Key changer, both said my CD Key provided by G2A was NOT BANNED however when I put it in, in both changers. It didn't work.

I then looked at another forum thread telling me to delete my shortcut, make a new one from the arma2oa.exe in my directory. This is suppose to overwrite the Steam CD Key (banned one) and replace it with G2A Key (unbanned one), this... Also did not work...

I am now writing this and have had no luck in changing my Steam CD Key, I notified G2A about the problem 2-3 days ago and they told me to contact Steam Support.

Please, Help Me.

Unfortunatly you cannot change your CD key, unless you create a NEW account.
Only 1 CD-key per account for each game, there is no way to update the previous key.

Darky's key changer? Next time, try not to download a trojan virus that most likely steals your CD key (checking if it's valid - yeah right). People would only attempt something like that on an illegal obtained key.

Whatever ♥♥♥ is, demand a refund, as it seems like a scam? Hopefully you used Paypal or something which can dispute payment.

You can change the key in the registry all you want. The minute you try to launch the game with Steam in online mode, it checks for valid stored keys and rewrites the key registered to your account into that space. Part of the "Preparing to launch" is validating stored key data.

No one can, or will, help you bypass Steam's authorization steps here. Doing so is, I believe, grounds for a ban.
